We took several kayak tours while we vacationed here, including a sunset. Very pleasant owner, Dave (if I remember correctly). The guides were well trained and actually nice instead of condescending like some. If you like seeing things off the beaten path, try one of these tours. It was easy pace and several people in our party had never kayaked... More

We signed up for the 2 hour kayaking tour. What this really means is about 70 minutes in the water. The first 50 minutes are spent getting everyone dressed and into the kayaks. Just something to keep in mind. It was a great tour! We went around one of the islands in Bar Harbor. Our guide, Pete, did a really... More

Great first time kayaking in Bar Harbor. Our guide Travis was excellent. He gave good instructions and they had all the equipment available for us. The prices were reasonable and we spent two hours in beautiful waters and traveled around two islands. Definitely going with this company again.

I didnt give 5 stars because there were several occasion the travel guide went ahead of us for a great distance. We couldnt hear what he said. I dont know is it because we were traveling with kids and the... More

My wife took our six year old son kayaking with Aquaterra and they had a blast! It wasn't just about the boat, but they explored sealife as well. Great equipment as well. Highly recommended.

We took our 6 and 9 year old boys on this tour and they loved it -from the gearing up to the paddling out to the harbor to the catching of crabs with stinky hotdogs. They recommend our guide, Travis, and this trip for anyone who wants to wear a bright yellow skirt and meet some sea creatures in a... More

This was my wife's first time sea kayaking. From the friendly guy named Mark who helped us book the trip to the very knowledgeable and reassuring presence of our guide, Travis- the staff was very professional and easy to relate to. The equipment was top notch and easy to use. I had a wonderful first time experience and highly recommend... More

Okay, so my putting got cancelled so I was disappointed, but the real bummer was that I showed up and asked about parking and after returning in 5 minutes hauling all my gear was told that it was cancelled. the pros of this place is that you can take longer outings and kayak solo ( instead of tandem) for an...

Our guide Jeff the 'Kayak King' was brilliant and his humour and knowledge ensured that is was a fun tour. A proper local he gave an authentic and refreshing guide to Bar Harbor and his delightful turn of phrase kept us smiling throughout.

This was our first sea kayak tour. Our tour guide was Travis. Because the weather wasn't so great all weekend, there were only four of us on the tour. My boyfriend and me and two other girls. Travis walked us through the gear, equipment and other safety measures before we started to paddle. Even tough it was a 3 hour... More
